Alexander's Feast K. 591. in the arrangement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Cantata in two parts. Composed by George Frideric Handel. 1685-1759. Edited by Andreas Holschneider. Arranged by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Konrad Ameln. Antje Wissemann. For SATB choir and piano. This edition. Urtext edition. Paperback. Piano reduction. Language. German, Text Language. German. English. K. 591. Duration 1 hour, 20 minutes. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag. BA.BA4527-90. ISBN 9790006542949. With Language. German, Text Language. German. English. 27 x 19 cm inches. In 1736 Handel composed "Alexander's Feast" or "The Power of Musick", a two-part cantata based on John Dryden's poem of the same name. In 1790, at the suggestion of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, Mozart arranged this work using a German translation of the poem made by Karl Wilhelm Ramler in 1770. As in other arrangements of Handelian works, Mozart's re-instrumentation leads to a change in the sound character of the work, placing the composition in the tradition of the Viennese Classic.
